NCES Public Schools

Every public elementary and secondary school in Rhode Island, charter schools included, with its location, the grades it teaches, how many students it enrolls by grade and race, its teachers, and how many of its students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch, for each school year since 2017–18. Good for planning around schools: safe routes and walking distance, bus and transit access, the traffic a school draws, where enrollment is growing or shrinking, and where low-income students are concentrated.

From the publisher

The National Center for Education Statistics' (NCES) Education Demographic and Geographic Estimate (EDGE) program develops annually updated point locations (latitude and longitude) for public elementary and secondary schools included in the NCES Common Core of Data (CCD). The CCD program annually collects administrative and fiscal data about all public schools, school districts, and state education agencies in the United States. The data are supplied by state education agency officials and include basic directory and contact information for schools and school districts, as well as characteristics about student demographics, number of teachers, school grade span, and various other administrative conditions. CCD school and agency point locations are derived from reported information about the physical location of schools and agency administrative offices. For more information about NCES school point data, see: https://nces.ed.gov/programs/edge/Geographic/SchoolLocations. For more information about these CCD attributes, as well as additional attributes not included, see: https://nces.ed.gov/ccd/files.asp. All information contained in this file is in the public domain. Data users are advised to review NCES program documentation and feature class metadata to understand the limitations and appropriate use of these data.
